It would definitely have spilled if I had just put it down, but I still had a grip on it. Lol, it ended up not mattering, because they had 5 yo twins, and we had a double header spill before the end of the meal anyway. So, (focus, lol) I'd use the buttons if it were a wall covering, but not for a table piece. Maybe copy them with Bondex, and iron the cute snowmen on.
I agree with this. If it's going to be laying flat where someone could set a drink on it, skip the buttons altogether. Even if they are glued on, if someone sets a drink on them, it's going over. You can can sometimes find cute little iron on patches at Joann's that could be used instead.
